Genres to be found on NEXT LEVEL

so how many songs do you guys think will be of each genre?

for example... my hypothesis:

Bridge to the sky - happy ballad (opening)
NEXT LEVEL - happy ballad
Disco-munication - trancy (interlude)
EnergizE - trancy
Sparkle - trancy
rollin' - mid tempo rock
GREEN - mid tempo ballad
load of the SHUGYO - rock (interlude)
identity - rock
Rule - rock
LOVE 'n' HATE - rock/ballad
pieces of SEVEN - ballad (interlude)
Days - happy ballad
Curtain call - sad ballad


WHERES THE SAD BALLADS AT?!?

for me

Bridge to the sky - opening of LABYRINTH feeling with words
NEXT LEVEL - happy ballad, or something like a lighter MY ALL
Disco-munication - full Disco song, with trancy opening.
EnergizE - trancy
Sparkle - trancy
rollin' - (really don't how to predict, but I hope it to be a mid tempo ballad)
GREEN - mid tempo ballad
load of the SHUGYO - full song with oriental feeling
identity - rock
Rule - rock
LOVE 'n' HATE - rock/ballad
pieces of SEVEN - ballad (interlude)
Days - happy ballad
Curtain call - sad ballad, I hope it will have a PV like CAROLS'

It's impossible to tell which are interludes right now so I'm going to treat most of them as if they're full songs.

Bridge to the sky - ethereal intro
NEXT LEVEL - midtempo ballad
Disco-munication - electro
EnergizE - electro
Sparkle - electro
rollin' - electro
GREEN - oriental pop/rock
Load of the SHUGYO - oriental rock
identity - orchestra rock (something like criminal)
Rule - uptempo rock
LOVE 'n' HATE - hard rock
Pieces of SEVEN - midtempo rock ballad
Days - midtempo winter ballad
Curtain call - piano/orchestra ballad

I'll go with Coelacanth's predictions with a few changes:

rollin' - rock
identity - something like End of the World
Pieces of SEVEN - piano ballad
Curtain call - rock ballad

You know, I can't and don't want to make any predictions!

Something tells me this album (well, its songs) will have a different sound than what the title gives off. I mean, I thought "NEXT LEVEL" was going to be another rock song, like "Rule." But it was totally different from my predictions!

Therefore, I'm not going to make any predictions. I'm ready and waiting for the complete surprise that I think lies within this album!

Bridge to the sky - poppy intro to NEXT LEVEL...it might even be an pre-extension of the actual song. no vocals in interlude.

NEXT LEVEL -pop tune similar to fairyland

Disco-munication - disco-meets-trance, probably some "da-da-dahs" (WHATEVER...not yet)

EnergizE - trance like Lady Gaga's style

Sparkle - no need for a response here...

rollin' - I would LOVE for this to be kind of hip-hoppy, or rather crunkish...but it'll most likely be more like a mix between Beautiful day and GREEN.

GREEN - refer to Sparkle, please...

load of the SHUGYO - rock (interlude) with lots of "Ohms..." (sp?). Similar to taskinst.

identity - rock with an english phrase, "my identity"...^_^

Rule - if you don't see the pattern, too bad.

LOVE 'n' HATE - orchestra-rock like kiss o' kill, or pop-rock like Kelly Clarkson's [Since You've Been Gone].

pieces of SEVEN - pop interlude, it will be the worst out of all of them...thus continuing the curse of GUILTY's sucky ass interludes (except mirror).

Days - X_X

Curtain Call -either an extremely sad ballad about the end of Ayu's career, or a song that's so FREAKIN' poppy it'll burst our arteries with it's sugary sweetness.

Bridge to the sky - I'm thinking Mirror-ish interlude. Mirror-ish in terms of being like a mini-song, but more ethereal. Sorta like if The Judgement Day was a real song.

NEXT LEVEL - Cute, fun, happy, something Ayu hasn't done since glitter only better.

Disco-munication - I'm thinking disco-trance, much like everyone else.

EnergizE - FAST. FAST FAST FAST Song. It'll be much love :3

rollin' - I'm feeling something like a midtempo here. Something emotional.

Load of the SHUGYO - I get the feeling it'll be something like alan's BRAVE :3

identity - Rock song definately, but upbeat rock like Rule. Very fitting with Rule.

LOVE 'n' HATE - HOPE or PAIN~episode II~ plz.

Pieces of SEVEN - for some reason I get HEAVEN vibes off this title.

Curtain call - better be a piano ballad, jebus :3 I'd love it if "curtain call" was a metaphor for death in the lyrics.

1. Bridge to the sky Pop
-I think this will be a build-up song. It'll be a nice pop song and I think it will just flow into NEXT LEVEL

2. NEXT LEVEL Pop
-Judging from the previews, this will be a sweet pop song. Nice catchy, and full of lovely lyrics

3. Disco-munication Techno
-Techno interlude. It'll be one of those addictive interludes, I predict

4. EnergizE Dance/Techno
-I think this will be something like... like, LOVEppears only more pumped up and more produced (like I think Sparkle is). It'll be totally dance-worthy

5. Sparkle Techno/Dance
-We all know this one

6. rollin' Dance/Rock
-Mid-tempo rock/dance song. I think it'll make a good transition from Sparkle to start out dancey and end on a more softer note to get us into GREEN.

7. GREEN Oriental Ballad
-Again, we all know this one

8. Load of the SHUGYO Rock
-Interlude. It'll start out soft and end with awesome guitar riffs lol

9. identity Rock
-Hard fast paced rock song

10. Rule Rock
-Needs no explanation

11. LOVE 'n' HATE Rock
-I think this one could go either way, it could be heavy or... I dunno. I can't seem to predict anything for this track

12. Pieces of SEVEN Pop
-Interlude. A nice slow paced, sweet piece. Something similar to 'everlasting dream' from RAINBOW

13. Days Ballad
-Love this song, btw lol

14. Curtain call Ballad
-I think this will be an epic ballad. A perfect ending for the album

I think you cant predict at all!
For example LOVE'n'HATE and pieces of SEVEN
for me, both could be either a disco pop song, a rock ballad, a hard rock song, a happy ballad or a sad ballad...or something completely different, i dont want to guess, because im wrong, anyway

I don't care mush. As long as it's Ayu's song, I'll listen to it.
